JAMES RIVER, NS (August 6, 2019) – Motoring TV, one of Canada’s top automotive television shows will be on-site at Riverside International Speedway August 16 and 17 to film an episode celebrating Riverside’s 50th anniversary; the episode will premiere nationally on TSN later this year.

Riverside Speedway opened in 1969 under the helm of Antigonish businessman John Chisholm. It was sold in 1989 and bought back by Mr. Chisholm late in 2005, rebuilt in 2006 and rebranded Riverside International Speedway. For 50 years, the popular 1/3-mile high-banked asphalt oval has provided generations of race fans with some of the best stock car racing entertainment in North America. Fans who attend events this year will find enhanced track decor, limited edition 50th-anniversary merchandise, and more celebrating Riverside’s fantastic five decades.

“We’re thrilled to have Motoring TV select Riverside as a site for one of its episodes,” said Paul McLean, General manager of Riverside International Speedway. “We’re excited to share our story with the show’s fans across the country. This event exemplifies our dedication to the racers and the fans with four different series – from four-cylinder to NASCAR – as well as the inaugural Rev it Up at Riverside Show & Shine.”

Brad Diamond, the Executive Producer of Motoring TV, echoed McLean’s sentiment.

“We’re thrilled to be heading for Riverside where we will celebrate its 50th anniversary along with profiling two-time NASCAR Pinty’s Series champion LP Dumoulin whose family is also celebrating 50 years at the wheel.”

The weekend kicks off August 16 with the Henry’s AUTOPRO 100 for the Napa Sportsman Series and the Passione Flooring East Coast Mini Stock Tour 50; the grandstand gates open at 4 p.m. and racing starts at 7 p.m.
